The Israel Defense Forces has formallycleared a new smart weapon sight foroperational deployment

The system’s developer, Smart Shooter, claims that its SMASH package is more of a fire-control system than a weapon sight and increases first-round hit probabilities by automatically predicting impact points on selected targets.

Similar to a weapon delivery system in fighter planes, or tank fire controls, soldiers nowadays rely on technology to become lethal and accurate but avoid risks of friendly fire or collateral damage to non-combatants. Unlike aircraft or ships that employ guided weapons, the lethality of a soldier is in the tools he operates with his hands – assault rifles, machine guns, grenade launchers and other…

Many say that you should always make your shot count when in a firefight. Even better, make the first shot count which is a matter of life and death. Smart Shooter, an Israeli company, promises that their SMASH electro-optical fire control system will give the shooter the first round hit.

Another improvement that could dramatically improve the soldier lethality is related to fire accuracy, utilizing advanced weapon fire control.Similar to a weapon delivery system in fighter planes, or tank fire controls, a ‘smart trigger’ would enable the soldier to shoot only when the weapon is aimed to hit the intended target.
